Yeah, same here! I don't usually want to get involved in full on tabletop RPG-ing. I'd rather play games that sort of skirt the border between RPG and board game, like LNoE or HeroQuest! By the way, I recently stumbled across the board game: "Survive!" at a thrift sore and recommend that one as well!

I would have hated you a year ago! haha My best friend and I grew up playing "Survive!". At 12 years old, I moved to another state, and gave him my copy as a present. We are still friends to this day, but sadly the game is long gone. It actually has quite the cult following, and was going for insane prices on ebay ($60-$100). I finally happened upon a copy in a Half Price Books store while driving through Cedar Rapids IA. I spotted it high on a shelf and nervously pulled it down. I was even more excited upon seeing the $2.98 price sticker, and then of course, I began doubting that it was a complete copy, or was damaged somehow. It was not. In fact, the previous owner had even separated the pieces in little baggies. The only flaw was a split corner, and a small stain on the back of the board. It was one of my greatest finds ever, especially since I also found an almost complete set of Moebius graphic novels, including the Incal, and most of his numbered ones for about $6 a piece. Anyhow, the game has just been remade by Stronghold games, so it shouldn't be as hard to get now. I am kinda debating buying this newer version as well.
